Disable syntax highlighting/other features for big files

#1

Hi,

I’m currently evaluating to switch over to Sublime. One annoyance I found is with big files (say >50MB). Loading the files takes very long. I found it to be the syntax highlighting, for Plaintext files reaction is okay. One could argue that working with such large “text” files isn’t intended use, but Verilog-Netlists can get pretty big pretty fast and I don’t want to use a different editor for such cases.

I found some old posts requesting something similar (may it be to disable certain features on big files, like highlight matches or syntax highlighting) or when to disable (magically disable for “big” files, like it’s done for long lines). Ideally one could set a limit (bytes, lines, whatever) and what to disable (for me disabling syntax highlighting would be enough, but I wouldn’t mind disabling highlight matches either).

Are there any chances such features could be integrated?

Cheers,
Manuel
